Counselor/Therapist, Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, LPCC and Certified Hypnotherapist, CHt
I am a holistic based therapist. I have a background in wellness education, yoga, mindfulness, guided imagery/hypnosis and creative therapies. I have led classes and workshops.
Stress, in its many forms, can stealthily infiltrate our lives, clouding our thoughts and overwhelming our sense of peace. In my practice, I recognize the pervasive impact of stress and the resilience it takes to seek change. Through focused therapy, I work with you to identify stressors, develop effective coping strategies, and cultivate a lifestyle that embraces calmness and clarity, empowering you to navigate life’s pressures with a renewed sense of balance.
Who doesn't feel stress now and then? But when stress becomes too high, it is a recipe for burnout, resentment, health issues, and fatigue. I will work with you to understand sources of stress, work to change the things in your life that you can, and empower you to learn how to relate to stress differently when you can't.
Stress can impact our ability to show up to life in meaningful ways. Our basic ability to function as a human might start taking a turn for the worst in times of chaos, uncertainty, and high pressure. In our therapeutic work, I hope collaborate with you to find ways to reduce/prevent burn-out and start living in more empowered and peaceful manner.
Stress is an undeniable and unavoidable part of life. So trying to avoid stressful situations entirely is not a good solution. But what we can do is learn to manage stress effectively. This can involve learning some of the many stress management techniques, of course, but it also needs to involve a shift in what we could call mental attitude, approach, or even how we habitually tend to perceive reality. When I work with people who are often stressed, I am very interested in helping them to understand how their habits of perceiving reality contribute to their feelings of stress and overwhelm. Once this is understood, stress management becomes much easier.
